I used lotsa chocolate, pecans and golden raisins and dried cranberries. The raisins and cranberries rocked the cookie.

Lots of bakers mentioned that their cookies, while tasty, looked like, well, something outta the GI track. You know, #2 or as many said, 'turd cookies'.

So I decided to drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top to pretty things up a bit. I made half the recipe and made my cookies small - I got 24 out of half a batch (the full batch makes 24 larger cookies). I think that helped make them petite and less dung looking.

Have a good week everyone! I know my friend Shannon will be having a GREAT week! Her husband, Mike is returning from serving in Iraq! He's heading straight to the doctors to see the ultrasound of his first child! Best wishes and cheer to you, Shannon & Mike (and growing baby girl!!)

what a gorgeous idea, drizzling the white chocolate! wow, that really transformed the look of these cookies. i wish i'd thought of it; i don't like white chocolate so i left it out, but using it the way you did would be great.

I am so loving the look of your cookies. They do look pretty! That drizzle is tasty. Great job my friend! I omitted the fruits altogether and focused on the chocolate chunks. It was chocolate heaven! :D
